WASHINGTON (AP) – The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee will request a delay on the confirmation vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. That will push the panel vote until Jan. 31.
The Judiciary panel is scheduled to vote Tuesday on Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination. But committee rules allow any member of the panel to hold a vote over until the next week, and members of both parties frequently do. A spokesman for California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday that she will request the extra week “to give the committee more time to conduct its due diligence.”
At Sessions’ hearing earlier this month, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he looked forward to “moving to his appointment without delay.”
LOL.. well on second thought! lol...who needs a change of clothes!
get out of the way, criminal libtards
no more paper shredding, file deletion: it’s time to let the man start prosecuting...
They thought Hillary was going to win and now they need more time to destroy evidence.
No. Call the vote before the break and be done with it.
Why are they agreeing to delay the vote???!!! Rules say the rats can do that by a week...BUT you could force a vote.... anyhows they have already announced to the panel they are going to vote against him..so screw the delay!!! VOTE DAMMITS!!!!
There is no valid, benign excuse for this, as they know him. They have worked with, or alongside, Sessions for years in the Senate.
no way!! NUKE THE BASTARDS— Don’t get all wobbly on me boys. I know what programmed pussys you are but time to put on helmets and HIT the bastards!!
Exactly! Put Sessions to work.
There’s work to be done. They’re wasting the People’s time.
doesn’t look like Pres. Trump has fired any US Attorneys.
Has Lynch been officially fired ? has she left ?
Hear, hear.....
How much thin ice can DiFi skate on?
I am pretty sure that her husband has the contract to build the high speed train thru Central Calif. Maybe those FEDERAL funds need to be held back for about 10 years.
Senator DUmmies have got no credible excuse.
I really have to admit, this is a new low, even for Democrats, to tear up a longtime fellow senator. It is actually rather embarrassing; I’d love for Sessions to get the Democrats on record as to what other sitting senators they view as being unfit for other offices.
The Dems are in a knife fight while McConnell polishes the china.
Sadly, the establishment republicans are still in control. If the gop-e really wanted the nominees confirmed quickly it would get done. They compose a large portion of the dc swamp. And it will continue to be a swamp until they’re gone.
Why isn’t Lynch gone already?
Lynch is gone, thankfully.
I thought I read somewhere that a woman named Sally....I forget her last name...is acting Attorney General. I’m assuming she is on Team Trump.
No way! Bullpoop!
I agree...this whole farce of delaying votes on cabinet nominees lies right on Mitch McConnell’s doorstep!!! With friends like Mitch McConnell.....DJT needs no enemies. Trump.....get rid of Mitch McConnell...he is no ally of yours!!!
